Harriet Allistair came west to Montana to build a new life, convinced that inheriting her uncle's farm offered the chance to prove herself to her family, to the world and most important, to herself. But that was before she met Nathan Hazard.

The Hazard-Allistair feud had endured for generations -- and Nathan understands why after meeting proud, stubborn Harriet. From his neighboring ranch, Nathan is counting the minutes till desperation drives her off his family's land. But he hasn't counted on this infuriating woman getting under his skin, making him wonder if ending the feud once and for all could mean a new beginning for them both.

This review is from: Wolf In Sheep'S Clothing (Harlequin Desire) (Paperback)

Harriet Allistair sees nothing happening in her life and needs a change - something that is of her choosing, a challenge. She has inherited her uncle's sheep farm in Montana. Now just how hard could attending a herd of sheep be? She doesn't have the support of her parents but she decides to move anyway and prove them wrong. But, boy, has she taken on a CHALLENGE! She has moved smack dab in the middle of a 2-family feud. Between the Hazards and Allistairs. Her property is in the middle of Nathan Hazard's land and he wants it bad. So bad that he is knocking at her door the first night she gets there to wanting to see Harry Allistair to make his offer to buy. Nathan didn't expect Harry to be red-headed with a figure like that either. Nathan is a know-it-all ready to convince Harriet that she can't handle it - Harriet is hard-headed enough to prove him wrong and kill herself trying. So the challenge is on. And hearts get in the way... A fun "one-night" read that will have you "rootin' for Harriet" at one time and for Nathan another. If you want a sweet and fun read- you'll enjoy this one.

(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing (Mass Market Paperback)

When Harriet Allistair's uncle passed away, she inherited his farm in Montana. Her family didn't want her to move, but she needed to get away from them to prove that she could survive on her own. More importantly, she needed to prove to herself that she could survive on her own.

No one had told her that there was a generations old family feud going on in Montana between the Allistair's and the Hazard's. No one told her that her uncle's farm bordered on Hazard land. And no one could have told her she'd fall in love with Nathan Hazard.

From their first meeting, Harriet is infuriated with Nathan Hazard. He was a know it all. He had tried to convince her to sell the farm to him. Yet, she finds herself hoping that he will stop by the farm so that she can see him again.

Nathan Hazard had never met a woman as stubborn as Harriet. He can't wait until she realizes she can't handle the farm and returns home. But somehow he has fallen for this woman and she's an Allistair!

Can this family feud finally end? Will Harriet prove herself to her family? Is Nathan the man to help her start a new life in Montana? This book novel will keep you guessing.
